Chapter 10 Aircraft Instrument Systems
10-1 IntroductionSince the beginning of manned flight, it has been recognized that supplying the pilot with information about the Aircraft and its operation could be useful and lead to safer flight. The Wright Brothers had very few instruments on their Wright Flyer, but they did have an engine tachometer, an anemometer (wind meter), and a stop watch. They were obviously concerned about the Aircraft s engine and the progress of their flight. From that simple beginning, a wide variety of instruments have been developed to inform flight crews of different parameters. Instrument Systems now exist to provide information on the condition of the Aircraft , engine, components, the Aircraft s attitude in the sky, weather, cabin environment, navigation, and communication.
sections, the different operating principles for sensing parameters are explained. Then, an overview of many of the engine, flight, and navigation instruments is given. Pressure Measuring Instruments A number of instruments inform the pilot of the aircraft’s condition and flight situations through the measurement of pressure.
